Dear Ham Friends,
Five cubesats are deployed from ISS on 4th October. FITSAT-1 is deployed around 15:40-45 (UTC).
FITSAT starts to send the beacon signal 30 min after deployments. Please send the signal report, telemetry data (if possible) and your postal address to fitsat1@hotmail.co.jp and also cc to tanaka@fit.ac.jp. You will receive the verification card. The orbit is almost the same as ISS.
The beacon frequency 437.250MHz of FITSAT-1 conflicts with the satellite PRISM of Tokyo Univ. Please confirm that the CW starts "HI DE NIWAKA JAPAN ..."
HB9FFH has made a telemetry decoder for FITSAT-1. It is available from Carpcomm website: http://carpcomm.com/satellite/fitsat1
Our student also developed a similar program for windows: http://turing.cs.fit.ac.jp/~fitsat/CWFM/FITSAT_CW_Analyzer1.zip
I will announce news on FITSAT-1 such as LED-experimentations: http://www.fit.ac.jp/~tanaka/fitsat.shtml
Very Best 73 -- Takushi Tanaka JA6AVG tanaka@fit.ac.jp
